If you draw the two force vectors from the boat call it point A. Their angle is 60 degrees.
Let x be the angle from the 200 lb force vector and the boat direction on the river. Then
60-x is the angle between the boat direction and the 240 lb force vector
200 sin x = 240 sin (60 -x) since the boat travels down the river and not into the banks
200 sin x = 208 cos x -120 sin x
320 sin x = 208 cos x
tan x = 208/320
x = 33 degrees, this is the angle from the 200 pound rope and the river bank
60- x = 27 degrees, this is the angle from the 240 pound rope and the river bank
The force on the barge from the 200 lb force is 200 cos 33 degrees = 167.7 pounds
and the force on the barge from the 240 lb force is 240 cos 27 degrees = 213.8 pounds
The resultant force on the barge is 381.5 pounds

Express all forces as vectors. Define +x to be along the stream in direction of motion
and +y to be towards the left horse (as a horse's eye views left)
Since you called this a statics problem, I will set it up as such with a resistance force
acting on the barge.
R: resistance force (equal and opposite to resultant force)
r = R*<-1, 0>
